Join us for tasty breakfast or lunch made fresh daily. Friendly service and fast take-out! Proudly Canadian since 1985.
Visited on a weekday when only a couple of tables were occupied, so I expected better service and food. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The service was extremely slow, and despite being very hungry, the wait felt endless. • Eggs Benedict: The hollandaise sauce was just a bland yellow sauce with no flavor at all. • Home Fries: They had a burnt oil smell, almost like engine oil—really unappetizing. • Eggs: The server didn’t ask how I wanted my eggs, so I ended up with runny eggs, which I dislike. • French Toast: The chef left it on the stove for 5-10 minutes while being on a call with headphones on. The result was dry, hard French toast that was tough to eat. It’s an open kitchen, so we could see everything happening, and it felt strange to watch this unfold. Isn’t that the purpose of an open kitchen—to show food being prepared with care? • Peameal Bacon: Undercooked and nearly raw, making it inedible. We were so hungry that we didn’t want to argue or request replacements because waiting for another order wasn’t an option. I’ve visited other branches many times, and this was by far the worst experience. Given how empty the restaurant was, I expected much better service and food quality. Sorry, but I can only give 2 stars for this visit.
Had a wonderful experience at this location. Ordered the basic 3 eggs with sausage and bacon, the food was perfectly cooked and above all the service was great! Will be coming back to try some of the other menu items for my sunday breakfasts.
Tried to dine-in, no one greeted or acknowledged us after sitting down for nearly half an hour, having people who had been sat after us getting their orders taken and we didn’t even receive a menu. Had to grab one menu that had fallen on the floor to share. After having our drink order taken, after waiting for 35 minutes in total for nothing we were informed they were out of cream cheese, milk, chocolate milk, white bread, and several other items. Too bad because it’s never been that terrible of service in the past.
A solid go-to breakfast and brunch location. Food is delicious and affordable with a wide option of items available. Service is quick depending on your timing. Some days can be slower if a local team or organization gets in there first and eats up the real estate. Other than that the wait times aren’t generally too long. This also applies to the food, which is usually to your table within 5 minutes or so after ordering. Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Can be busy on weekends due to it being a choice location for brunch. This can also cause it to have a busier and louder atmosphere but nothing too serious or crazy. It becomes nice background noise. Overall a solid breakfast and brunch location with good food and good pricing. Staff is always friendly!
Sunset Grill is my go-to spot for all-day breakfast, and it never disappoints when I’m in the city! What truly sets Sunset Grill apart, though, is the exceptional service. Julie, our server, was outstanding. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her warm and positive attitude made our visit even more enjoyable. ASK FOR JULIE!!
Ordered the great Canadian omelet and side bacon and yogurt with the works and side scrambled eggs. I really enjoyed the yogurt with mixed fruit, granola, plain yogurt and some honey. It was a nice presentation, refreshing and a nice size. I would order it again.
I took my dad here for lunch when we were in the area. Parking is plenty and it's free which is nice. Due to covid this location has limited seating to allow for social distancing. Service is quick as they have plenty of staff and the wait wasn't too long. Staff is friendly and accommodating and once they take your order it's usually a quick service. Breakfast was tasty and ordered exactly to request. One downside is how busy it was we didn't get a refill on the coffees but the waters held us by. Overall we enjoy the sunset franchise and adore the generous portions. Definitely worth a visit if your in town We give it a 4/5.
Went here early on Sunday, the server was very nice lady, coffee was just okay nothing special. Had the french connection which was french toast, 3 eggs and home fries with sausages. French toast was good, home fries were just okay. Sausages and eggs were small. The atmosphere itself was also not bad. Prices aren't that bad. Love the pure maple syrup, it comes in neat little bottle which you can take home but the cost is alittle over 2 dollars.
This place is a joke, save your time and go somewhere else. I went to this place and ordered a Philly Cheesesteak. The place had me waiting 1+ hour to get my food, everytime I asked it was Its just getting ready. Even after the hour we didnt even get our food. Save your time.
Not bad Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor Food : 4/5 |
Our go to spot when I get a breakfast craving that I dont have to cook. Food is great and our waitress is always friendly and attentive to our table for anything we need.
I had an omelette that was not cooked through, and the home fries were bland. My daughter seemed to like her food, however. I was disappointed as previous meals here were good.
I WOULD HUGHLY AVOID THIS PLACE. YOU BETTER STAY AT HOME EATHER THAN COME HERE TO EAT IN A GARBAGE PLCE LIKE THIS . MY FRIENDS AND I WENT TO THIS PLACE, I spilled coffee over the table a little bit and went to grab a few napkins to clean up the mess. The super old person waiter came and grabbed the napkins from my hand and shouted pls dont use them as they are very expensive and she used her old, smelly towel to clean the table. My friend who came from Hong Kong said to the lady If If the owner is so stingy about Napkins what would he feed his customer WE LEFT IMMEDIATELY.
Good food and service. They moved customers fairly quickly and yet we never felt rushed. It got quite busy but the one server did a great job.
Food always good. Service excellent.
Vegetarian options available.
I live by and pass a bunch of other breakfast places on the way, but prefer this breakfast place. Service is always good, the regular server we usually see is so funny & nice, food is always yummy and good portions. I like that they don t deep fry their home fries, & their rye bread is so thick and delicious.
Great breakfast
The owner/manager of this location was rude and out of order in addressing customers. There was no customer service!!!
We had a great waitress named Anikita! She was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Always with a smile on her face. The only issue we had was the manager named Julie. The whole time we were there she belittled the other waitresses. She kept yelling the whole time! It was not enjoyable! I cannot believe the way she treated her coworkers! I asked to speak to the manager but he was busy. She should not get away with this behaviour!
Was OK
Food was great with the exception of the potatoe home fries. I am used to having them with some crispiness to them everywhere else, but the Sunset Grill standard the last two franchises that I have visited seems to be just reheated on a grill, diced up boiled potatoes.
Kinda dingy, the cook had poor food handling practices (e.g., touching raw meat then touching vegetables and not washing hands) , dirty apron, gross!
This place is sunny and provide excellent service, good value for money.
Had breakfast there with my wife was really good
Always great service and staff. Food is good and filling.
This used to be our go to breakfast place, and now we avoid it. The restaurant is in rough shape, it looks like it hasnt been maintained very well at all. I understand the hardships restaurants have had since covid, however, I still expect they will at least take pride and keep them clean and maintained. The food is OK, and the service isnt terrible, but there are far better places in this area to go to.
We went to the location in Oshawa for brunch and the food was great and the waitress was friendly. We had a great experience!
Excellent fresh breakfast, amazing environment, and customer service by specifically Anikita was awesome. Thanks for great hospitality.
Good food, great service
Was a cold day .. was by door so cold .. food was just ok
As a new comer, the taste is bit confused to me, The ambience is good, their service is recommended. Their food quality and display is good. Excess of potatoes in all dishes, am not a big fan of that. Wish to go again to try other items too.. Food
This place is not the best to go to... very unorganized, service is super slow and they have absolutely no respect to the clients that are in the restaurant. Took is 20 min just to get coffee so ridiculous.
Eggs were rubbery potatoes were cut to big didn t eat the food only got 4$ off my 36$ order for a meal that wasn t eaten.
Small restaurant at times very cold near doors. Staff always friendly Limited staffing Food : 4/5
This has been my go to breakfast spot since moving to oshawa the past few months but today was my last straw with this location. I always ask for the home fries well done because I dislike the home fries from this company but the home fries here are never cooked enough no matter how many times U send them back. most times the serves also forget to tell the kitchen for well done. This morning I asked the server what I can substitute for the home fries since I don t like them and don t want to waste food, and if I can just have some toast instead. I was told no and that she s have to charge me for the toast. And the restaurant didn t have any other substitutes that I would eat. Not sure why toast is a big deal when the other subsistute options are veggies. Anyways just not the best customer service at this location. The server didn t even try once to even ask the kitchen if okay, just wants to upsell and that s it. Rather spend my Sundays at coco fruity where the customer service is immaculate. Most places on taunton road have poor customer service
ALWAYS good, friendly and clean, all things Im okay with.
Good food and warm hospitality but lacks more vegetarian or vegan options.
Foods good but its so loud in the restaurant.. Great food and excellent friendly staff
Waitress was racist and was LOADS of hair in my food, this place is disgusting do not come here.
Friendly staff, great food, speedy service.
On Sunday March 19th 2023 at approximately 11:30 am, my girlfriend regrettably made the recommendation that my friend and I should dine at the Sunset Grill, rather than the much superior Stacked Pancake and Breakfast House (in my personal opinion, not a sponsored message). Once we arrived, the four staff members took a prolonged goggle at us before ushering the chaps and I to our designated table like a deer caught in the headlights. This awkward greeting required a 6 minute thorough assessment by the staff to decide whether we wanted to dine-in or we were popping by the establishment to ask for directions. When finally seated, it required an additional 10 minutes before my girlfriend had to flag down a waitress to ask wether our disengaged waiter would be serving us. While observing in a disgruntled manner the other customers that were seated after us, being served and having their orders taken by other staff members our waiter was finally notified by another staff member that we had yet to be served. Our waiter finally waltzed over and took our orders in which added another 15 minutes to our unnecessary dine in. The waiter needed to be flagged down multiple times to refill my drink due to my diabetic (type 1) induced dehydration. Once the food was finally served by another staff member, the chaps and I had to get a bit creative with the space management of the table as the waiter failed to remove any clutter (empty cans and cups) from the table. During those circumstances a foolish thought was peculating that perhaps the food could salvage this dreadful experience. However, that was nothing more than a pipe dream for three reasons. First reason being that I spotted a hair that was entrenched within the maple syrup dispensary. Second reason, in conjunction with the first point, despite my pancakes being caked in maple syrup they were served bland, vulgar taste and did not have a fluffy like appearance. Lastly, the home fries in which I was most looking forward to, were undercooked (as I was looking forward to indulge in a crunchy and well-seasoned cooked (home fries). Overall, this experience was further exacerbated by the fact that we had to subsequently pay for mediocre food and unresponsive service. Not once during the entire meal were we checked in on, nor asked if we needed anything else. Absolutely ludicrous, only if this experience was a dinner and a comedy show. But thanks for a good laugh nonetheless. Left full of laughter but not full from consuming food.
One of the worst experiences I ve had coming here, first off me and my family had to ask to be served no one came to our table to offer us drinks or anything I understand that it gets busy but 25min wait was ridiculous. I ve been to other locations and service has been great but today it was non sense won t be coming back here for sure.
I came here with my adult children the food was cold when we received it Got our orders wrong Would never recommend this place to anyone
Super hot delicious food, the care and attention was noticed :)
Breakfast was great Friendly Staff Very busy Parking: Lots of parking
Nice place. Crab Benedict to die for. The asparagus was not nicely sautéed.
foods awesome, great service and friendly staff
It is my first time sunset grill it is very clean and good service.
This particular location of Sunset Grill needs to reduce the number of tables they have or hire more staff. Both would be ideal. The kitchen simply cannot handle the number of customers they are currently set up to seat. My meal this morning took 35 minutes to prepare, after having waited 10-15 minutes to have my order taken. Tables sat waiting to be cleared while more customers queued at the door. Dirty plates and cups piled into trays and left forgotten (temporarily) on ledges. To be clear, I do not hold this against the staff whatsoever. They are charming and pleasant and absolutely helpful whenever they can come by, the issue stems from not having enough time to divide between the mountain of guests they have to serve! The good news is the quality of the food was no different from any other locations of the chain. I travel around the province for work and have frequently been a customer wherever I go. I am glad they arent trying to cut corners on their food but for the sake of their staff members I hope the owners take initiative to prevent the workload being so overwhelming going forward.
Food was pretty good but the home fries werent crispy enough but that is a personal preference.
Sunset Sandwich is great! The home fries may not be crispy though... But they were seasoned well. Good service too! Excellent price!
Well this place use to be good but it has been over a year since we been here. First the place needs a good cleaning. Second the home fries tasted like boiled potatoes cut up. No flavor and we re not crispy. The coffee was black water very weak. The only option for sweetener was sweet and low. ( not good for you) Should get with the times and have Splenda or Stevia. In addition, you need more servers . Oh and the cook had no cloves or no hair net.
Great staff, very good service.
Very good breakfast and portions. I got the sunset dinner and couldnt finish it. Definitely recommend it as a place to go for breakfast
Parking: Right in front and beside the restaurant Food
Always have a decent breakfast at Sunset. Nothing fancy but always filling!
Ordered a BLT. BLT was tasteless. baccon too . Hard tomatoes. HOME Fries were poor. Coffee to hot and taste was mediocor. Expensive . Was of ti.e and money.
We love it. My 7 year old son loves it and I do as well. Nice brunch place for us!
I have a great experience every time I visit this place... the stuff is very friendly and helpful. Great job!!
The waitress was very kind and attentive. The food didnt take too long to arrive and our coffee cups were always topped up. And this after a hockey team had just left. Parking: In a mall so lots of parking. Kid-friendliness: They had just served a junior hockey team so I would assume theyre child friendly.
The diner is never open as posted on the door. The owner is never present until late daily. The waitress staff are forced to cook early morning. No hair nets. Street clothes are worn. Between delivery orders and take out customers are forced to wait for service. Sunset Grill needs a rethink at this location. A shining example of great service and good can be found at your diner on Kingston Road near Morningside in Scarborough. Dietary restrictions: Vegan
Good as always.
Clean , friendly and delicious!
Had the eggs bennie. Priced right and came well cooked. Service was pleasant, what else can you ask for. I will come back again for sure
I suggested myself and my friend dine at this Sunset grill location as I have had great experience at the Scarborough location. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience. We got to Sunset grill and waited couple of minutes to be seated. We got seated and our server was unpleasant..Anyways, she took our orders and brought our drinks.. We waited about 35 minutes, our food was not served even though two tables were served and we were seated before them and our orders taken before them..My friend beckoned on the waiter and we were told there is backlog so we would have to wait couple of mins more. My friend requested for the bill for the drinks immediately, then the waiter miraculously appeared with our food after saying we needed to wait a couple of minutes more.We ordered nearly the same type of breakfast adls the guests on the other tables as evident when their food was served so we didnt order anything complicated. I would usually not play the race card but I couldnt ignore the treatment as we were obviously the only blacks there and the last to be served after wasting so much of our time and there was no explanation as to why those other tables got served before us. If anyone chooses to dine at Sunset grill, pls go to another location. We found a much better diner where we were appreciated and treated like a valued customer. I wouldnt go back to any of the Sunset grill location.
Very filling and delicious; our server was friendly and approachable.
First time experience with Sunset Grill, the food was decent but not overly impressive in its delivery, compared to other breakfast places. Eggs didnt smell (thats a positive to me) Service was excellent however the overall quality of food experience could be improved...
Order was wrong when I got home and opened it. Not to mention barely cooked runny eggs and near raw potatoes
Toast was thick. As described. More room on table?
Great service but the menu is overpriced for what you get.
Great breakfast!
I went to Sunset Grill in Oshawa, on April 18. As I sat at my table, I watched the cook . First of all, handling hamburger patties, no gloves, then sticking his hands in a container for veggies for salad, again, no gloves, other food items were touched, not even washed his hands!!!!!! It was disgusting I ll called the owner over to my table to tell him what I saw, he apologized and said that he wasn t the regular cook! Regular cook or not, should have been trained in food handling! Never going back. I hope that no one got sick!
Clean and friendly service...
Great breakfast and friendly staff always have a great time here.
Had the sunset western sandwich and delicious. Special breakfast very good. Good size portions.
ok, food was great, the service was not. i saw every waiter taking calls behind the grill. shape up sunset grill.
Food was amazing, service was amazing and our waitress was amazing
Sandy is one of the most proficient servers in Durham
Extremely friendly
Great service ! Very friendly atmosphere!
Ordered French toast and found it very plain. Nothing special. Even the syrup is not that sweet.
Excellent service friendly staff great food what more can be said Excellent all around
Its a nice place for breakfast Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu
The staff are helpful and smazing know my order by heart. Vegetarian options: Gluten-free options are available as well as veggie options Parking: Lots of parking spots Kid-friendliness: kids menu available upon request Wheelchair accessibility: It is a wheelchair accessible
!!! zero stars !!! From the front door it was terrible. Dirty entrance...literally DIRT on the half wall. The plants were dying, no sanitizer in either stand and no hostess. Some young girl from 15-20 feet away held up 2 fingers at us then started walking to an overcrowded section. We asked to be seated where there was more light. She accommodated without speaking amd looked confused by the request. The waitress was pleasant but needed more training on food knowledge and simple hospitality skills. She never checked in us, no coffee fill up (@2.75 each!!) And put the bill on the table when I wasnt even half into my meal. And, no, she was not done her shift. She continued to wander around. Now,...the food. This place has really gone down hill. Our meals were brpught to our table by someone from the kitchen. I had to flag down the waitress to get out toast. The potatoes were a mix of very well done hard bits and very undercooked chunks. I asked for over medium- specifically saying no runny whites. Lets just say, they were very snotty eggs. Both my husband and myself had overcooked, dried out sausages and their rye toast was very think slicesd, barely warm pumpernickel? This place is now on our do not go list. Oh !! AND.... what appeared to be the owner stood at the front cash the entire time we were there, talking and laughing on his cell phone. Terrible service, terrible food.
Good food, excellent portions. Noticed the cook wasnt wearing gloves last time. Handling food and everything else in the kitchen. Unsanitary
Great quick service
Nice place for breakfast
This is a great place for breakfast. The server even offered a meal alternative that got me more bang for my buck. Prompt service and bottomless coffee....what more could I ask for?
Good food with decent portions. Not too expensive and food tastes great!
Lovely breakfast spot with nice staff
Excellent atmosphere, good service
Did a takeout order. The music and atmosphere are noisy so make sure to speak loud Order came out nice however DO NOT DO TAKE OUT (it s not worth the hefty price) if you want to take advantage of their breakfast deals.
Nice variety of food, and tastes pretty good. The only thing i didnt like was that my eggs felt a little overcooked and my French toast seemed like there wasnt enough milk cooked with it, though that may just be my preference.
Wonderful breakfast and an even better waitress!!!
Found a hair in my food twice. And the app they said to download didnot have descriptions or pictures so it was hard yo choose from the menue
Fast service. Nice staff. Fair prices. Delicious avocado toast.
Great frresh food. I really enjoyed the smoked salmon eggs beni. Service was awesome. Good variety of breakfast food
Bacon could been crisper but every things else was good!!
Sat at table for 25 minutes without even being acknowledged. Couldnt even get a coffee or a water well we were waiting!
I enjoyed the food and the great service.
Great food. Nice portion size. But service could be better.
Average service and average food. No complaints
Great friendly staff and breakfast food.
Good but more expensive than competitors.
Disappointed! Services was terrible. home fries were bad super salty boiled and not fried, they have no idea how to cook a proper breakfast! They cant even toast toast properly. I do not recommend this place. Want a good breakfast? go to Coco Fruitti, or Johnnys eatery, and Rainbows. Get it together, go back to breakfast school.
My server Julie was amazing! Funny and comforting. The food waa a bit salty but Julie fixed the problem right away.
My daughter ordered the vegan hasbrowns with French toast. I ordered an omlette that came with hashbrowns. Both hashbrowns were waaaay too salty! The vegan hashbrowns were reordered....again could not be eaten bc of the salt. Chef needs to have a lighter hand on the salt! I didnt eat mine either. Omlette was dry...both sides cooked first, then filling added resulting in a dried out omlette. Server Julie was amazing! Wont order anything with hashbrowns again, nor that omlette. Take it easy on the salt! We were told we wouldnt be charged for the vegan hashbrowns...that was not the case, we WERE charged for food that was inedible. Ugh!!
Surprisingly not busy for Sunday breakfast. Fast and efficient.
Super expensive for minimal food
Exceptional.Service
Pleasant staff. Good prices. Tasty food
Always fast, friendly service. Great coffee. Large menu selection. My go to brunch spot - it never disappoints!

Eggs French toast bacon and potatoes. Along with unlimited coffee for a decent price. Nice portions and quick and friendly service. Our server was hustling. Food was good
David been going for a while very friendly waitresses and very helpful and I just went back this week
One star is high for this terrible place, I ordered breakfast today, the taste is yuk the portions and the service the worst, this place is horrible.
Workers are wearing mask under chin instead of covering mouth and nose. Tables are not being sanitized after each customers.
Great food
Great service and food!
This may be a great place I think overall but there is an unwritten rule that if a customer finds a hair in his food during Covid where you have him sign a form for Covid tracing you give him his $9.00 breakfast for free even if they don t ask. The owner knew this and said nothing.
Great service. Food was ready pretty quickly. Food was fantastic.
Everything cooked to perfection
Disappointed that my meal had zero seasoning. Also quite alarmed by the number of servers wearing their masks below their noses...
I had ordered them through skip the dishes and when I received my order I found the container shoved in a bag that was too small for it and slopped over on its side so that it was leaking all over the inside of the bag and of course was a giant mess inside. Would advise to at least put it in an appropriate sized bag or container. And considering my order was quite small it could have been handled better by simply putting a little more thought into how it was to be packaged. Other than that it was alright. Not the best but not the worst.
Great staff, food was good and prices are just right. Restaurant clean and tidy. Didnt have to wait long for a table or food. Got all that we asked for.
This place is very great nice owner customer service is very good quality of food is great and staff are Friendly Great ambiance for dining they maintain very neat and clean
Food came fast, even though it was pretty busy with take outs. Food was delicious. Best french toast at a restaurant I ve ever had.
Our favorite Friday spot
Service was amazing and the food was fantadticly cooked. Liked that they took your temperature!!
Food was good. Very busy. It was cold inside too
The food was pretty good, the home fries were soft and unseasoned. Kinda pricy but quick service.
Coffee tasted like sewer water took two sips, food was cold we didn t even finish our meal I insisted to pay ahead and we just left our food and full coffees, wouldn t even feed that food to my dog!! I still tipped because service was decent!
